J&J Family of Farms hires new western sales manager
Because J&J Family of Farms continues to expand into the western region of the United States, the company recently hired Mari Danielson, who will serve as its western sales manager.
Danielson, who was previously the senior sales executive for Sunfed, brings a wide range of produce experience to this new position.
“This is a great opportunity to be able to sell and market all varieties of high-quality produce from a well-established company with a diversified customer base," she said in a press release.
Mari Danielson "I am very excited to grow my career with the 'Family of Farms' that J&J represents."
Starting her career in the Phoenix wholesale market, Danielson developed hands-on product knowledge of all aspects of the wholesale segment. After moving to Colorado, she was hired as a retail specialist for CH Robinson, working in procurement, sales, merchandising, representation and transportation.
Building on her produce expertise, Danielson opened a logistics and produce company based in Colorado, which provided her with the additional skills and experience in management and administration. In 2006 she re-located to the Nogales area where she was offered the opportunity to expand sales for SunFed.
“With our continued growth in the western region, J&J has now become a national supplier and this has created new opportunities for us to enlarge our sales force and operations,” Brian Rayfield, vice president of business development for J&J, said in the release. “Mari's produce knowledge combined with her retail and foodservice experience will be an asset to our team.”
